And a first post, what a thing that is! Today was my oldest DD first day of first grade. She was so excited, up and out of bed an hour and a half early at 7 am. She wore her back pack around the house the entire morning and of course was all smiles for the camera. She came to me last night just before bed time and showed me her wiggley tooth ... I felt it ... you know ... one of those twinges of motherhood.
I felt my daughter growing up. In that instant I looked at her and thought OH MAN!!! She is going to lose all her teeth, she will be taller than me, she will be getting phone calls from boys and one day she may even think I am the enemy! This is a stage we as tweens all go through. I hope that last part doesn't happen though. I would be perfectly happy to just always have a great mom/daughter relationship with both of my girls. I know we wont be friends, but to always be respected and loved by them is all I can ask for.
So anywho! I brought her down to the bus stop and waited there with her and my other DD and Nannie (my mom). As cool as could be I took a few shots with out (I hope) looking like that desparate first time mother. I watched her board the bus, she introduced herself to the bus driver and took her seat. I started to walk away and just as I turned back to the bus she was waving like crazy to me from her seat. I felt so proud, what a day and it was only 8:40am.
